The Tortoisesoft Enterprises home page - dig for the good Acorn stuff

Introducing the SiWriter

This is the age of the app, a fact not lost on me but I like actual objects. One object, gizmo, call it what you will, that I loved was the AgendA microwriter. Sadly I wore mine out. The Cykey is now available, but I want something to run in my iPad. It has its own website and a Facebook page and is available as a free and as a paid for download. £0.99 lets you send emails with it, the free version is there just for you to have a taste before to plunge.

Other than for giving you a hint that something incredible has happened to typing, this site is both old and unused. It has historic aspects, I may add the old Lady Bay site here if anyone at all asks for it... We now live in Chiswick at least for now.

Update - as of 2015 - we are in Australia ! Sydney - Glebe to be exact.

The Acorn Reborn !

To my utter delight and frankly total surprise, RiscOS is back ! It has never really gone away even with the death of Acorn itself brave sparks were kept glowing by many wonderful people. The only part I can claim to play in this resurgence is that I never took down my site. I shall now bring it fully back to life so that new users have something to play with. I shall also try and find my teach-your-self WIMP programming articles and re-post them. I will not put my major software back online until I have got it running again - I don't want to put anyone off ! Until then, the old site ( see the menu ) has the links just as I left them 10 or more years ago. The PC progs no longer work :-)
